HE CUP
Similar to the first Main Event, Owen began to close the gap near the halfway point of the race and was searching for a way past Faith. On Lap 7, Owen got the drive down the rhythm section and snuck past in the following turn. He demonstrated incredible speed while out front and opened a comfortable lead over his nearest competitor. Owen held a 4.7 second margin of victory over Faith as he crossed the checkered flag for a clean sweep on the evening. Blose finished strong in third, with Herrlein fourth and Steinke fifth. It was an impressive performance by Owen who put a stop to Faith’s win streak and rebounded for his first victory in the Race
to the Ricky Carmichael Cup. Faith scored valuable points with a runner-up effort (2-2), while Blose stood atop the final podium step in third (3-3). Herrlein was fourth (6-4), just ahead of Steinke (5-5). Following back-to-back victories, Faith entered the night eight points ahead of Owen in the Ricky Carmichael Cup standings, but now controls the points by just seven points following Owen’s win. Blose sits in third, 11-points out of the championship lead. The 12-lap Western Regional AX Lites Class Main Event saw Breece jump out to the early lead with the holeshot over Woodstock KTM’s Hunter Sayles and Team DirtBikeMike’s Hunter Hilton.
